Application/Desktop Sharing
Overview: Class Live allows you to share applications and your desktop with your class. This feature becomes especially helpful in creating an interactive classroom environment. For example, you can share an excel document or you can share the application and demonstrate how to insert an item into a cell. When you share a specific application, students will only be able to see what actions you perform in that application.You can also grant a student the privilege to share documents for presentations. There are several methods you can choose to enable application or desktop sharing. How to use Application Sharing: You can enable sharing by selecting the option from the icon on the tool bar You can also access it by the dropdown menu: Go to Tools then Application Sharing Then select Share Application Class Live also gives you the option to share what you see on your desktop so your students can see any window you open. Select Application Sharing then select Share Entire Desktop You can also go to Tools followed by Application Sharing and then Host Applications...
A box will appear where you can select from the applications you have running on your computer. Here you can select the specific application that you would like to host. Your defeault view will not change when you are hosting an application. The way to see if you are currently hosting an application is to go to Application Sharing and see if the Host Applications... dropdown is checked. If it is, then you are hosting and your students can see the application that you previously chose. The way to change your view so that you can see the window your students are seeing is to select the Left or Right Docked minimal layout views. This is an example of the left docked view. You can switch windows, but your students will only see the application that you have selected. They will not see all of your programs unless you choose to share your entire desktop When you share an application or the items on your desktop you cannot have windows overlap the window you are showing, otherwise your students will not be able to see the application where the other window or drop box is on top of what you are sharing. To solve this, Class Live has a mini controller option.
Presentation mode is a differenent method of presenting material to students that allows the student or moderator who is presenting to offer and have a different view window when the mode is selected. This can be useful for those who will frequently be using the whiteboard and its tools. You can also select presentation mode to share the whiteboard and other applications as well. When you select the presenttion mode icon you will get a pop up window that will prompt you to select the conent that is available to share.

Polling
Overview: Polling can be conducted by the professor and can include multiple choice, none, or yes/no options. Yes/no is the default option when conducting a poll. As you conduct a poll, select show to display results on your whiteboard and publish to display results to the student’s window. Upon publication, all students can see those polling results. You can save poll results for future use. To conduct a poll:
To create a poll, go to Tools, Polling and choose A.E Multiple choice (for example). You can toggle the show button on the toolbar off and on. All displayed results are shown (on) and all displayed results not shown (off). For this example, toggle the show button to the on state. Either type your poll question on the whiteboard or have a slide prepared for the poll. Ask students to respond to your question/poll by choosing A B C or D on their toolbar. If show is already selected, you should be able to see the class results on your whiteboard. You can also see individual results by checking the student participant window. This tells you who is done and who has not yet completed the poll. Save the results of the poll by choosing the save to disk icon, then select whiteboard, and save as .pdf format so that results can be viewed outside of the whiteboard environment. Hide and show poll results to see the toggle effect on the whiteboard. You can lock the poll results so that students cannot change their answer once viewing the results. Do this by choosing the lock results icon on the tool bar. To let students see the poll results, select the publish icon on the tool bar. Breakout groups will be able to see published results as well. Polling is only setup for one question/answer response at a time. To have more than one question on a poll, you will need to create more than one powerpoint screen with the polling questions in your presentation, and then save the results of each poll as a .pdf. In review: Create your poll on the whiteboard, then ask your students to take the poll. Once you see that all students have taken the poll (by checking the participant window), lock the poll results, then publish the results to the whiteboard and discuss the results with your class. Save results in a .pdf format so that you can view the results at a later point in time. To proceed, click on the ESP (Elluminate Sensory Perceptions) tab on the Course Content panel on the left hand side.
